Hi, if u want, u can actually do it yourself, its not difficult. Just take a piece of wood/aluminum/pvc etc, put it across the hole, and drill/screw it in to secure. then take the piece which was cut out and drill/screw it to the piece of wood/aluminum/pvc. After that, u need to get the plaster powder (aka mani powder), mix with water according to manufacturer instruction, and use it to fill the cracks/seams. once dried, can paint over.

i got see something similar at selffix

Hi, anyone have any contacts for installation of privacy window films? I looking of those translucent ones (frosted glass look). Thanks in advance

Challenger/ homeFix and selfFix shld haf. I bought 3 last time from Challenger VivoCity

Nespresso!!!!

plaster not that easy to do yourself leh. need skill to do it well, or else u end up with uneven walls Do you want to try using plasterboards? They are essentially big "boards" where you secure to the walls. After that you can paint them. But you may need to make cuts on the boards so that your electrical sockets/ plugs can be exposed.

Logitech Z-5500. using it for 2 years liaoz. powerful bass. blows you away

From their website, it seems like the recommended place to install the termination point next to your TV point. In that case, if you can decide on at least the place where you will put your TV, you can just get the Opennet contractor to install it there. Hiding wires etc can come later during the reno. I believe they did state that you are not allowed to move the points yourself.

actually opennet have some guidelines on how to provision for concealed wiring. But too bad my flat was handled over before I chance upon the guidelines

I'm using PD door. Only complaint is that door frame a bit light. As my place is quite windy, the wind will normally blow and shut the room partially. In the end I install those metal hooks to prevent the door from closing

mine also.. rust appear just a month after using. Now I tell people stainless steel does not mean wun rust one. I normally will take a cloth and some oil and rub on it until it comes off, something like how you will clean the rifle after an outfield. (those who go through NS before will know what I mean). After that apply some oil and install it back. Mine is from Hoe Kee btw. Now I know you the chicken brand so ex liao. Thinking of spraying some clear paint after removing the rust next time. dunno will help ornot.

I use those leather care cream that are meant for cars once every 6 months or so. Only thing is that these cream leaves behind some oily residue. Have to endure for a week or so for the oiliness to go away

Items you need: Wall Putty metal scraper Hand drill wall plugs screwdriver claw hammer Paint (same colour as the wall in which the track is installed. You will need to first unscrew the old track from wall. Once removed, you should see holes with wall plugs in them. You will need to remove the old wall plug. What I normally do is use a hand drill and slowly drill the wall plug out. Slowly as the wall plugs may fly out and cause injury if you are not careful. I'm not sure if this is the correct method, but it works for me. The other method is to screw in a screw into the wall plug partially. Then use a claw hammer to remove the plug with the screw still on it. I do not really use this method as there are chance you may damage adjacent walls. Plus they are more time consuming and requires more effort. After that, use the wall putty and metal scraper to fill the hole. Use the scraper to smoothen the hole. Once you are happy with the result, wait for a few hours for the putty to dry and set. After that, paint that part of the wall. If properly done, the final outcome will be as if the wall was not previously drilled. You have finished repairing the wall. Now you can go ahead and install the new track.

I'm using an external conventional Microwave (Sharp R-898M(S) ) as my kitchen has no space for 2 appliances. I asked my ID to cut a hole in the kitchen counter to house the standalone conventional Microwave. Hence, my kitchen looks like macham I have a built in oven like that. Current what I have done are simple roasting and baking of cookies. So far so good, not much complaints. However, I found that the recipes need to be slightly tweaked to achieve a better result. My suspect is that the size of my machine is smaller, hence, there is more heat variation within the oven cavity. I believe you may get better results of you get a full sized built in oven (conventional microwave or conventional oven). Think that is what cooking is all about. experimenting and trying until you understand the characteristics of the various equipments and cooking modes.

my old unit got some seow lang do their cooking at the clothes drying section of the kitchen. In the end, every unit above them kena smelly clothes as the cooking fumes will travel out their window onto the clothes hanging above them. Complained to RC/Town Council. Things improved for a while, then back again. Think this kind of things very difficult to solve. What we end up doing is to keep the clothes in once we hear the frying sound and shut the windows immediately. When sleeping, shut the windows as well.

For Aircon, it is normal to drip water. but the aircon installer will normally install pipes such that the water will flow back into their own drainage and not anyhow drip downstairs. Can try to complain to TC, but if they dun want to cooperate than nothing much can be done.

I remembered reading an article where someone actually built a 'floating' room within the room to minimise sound leakage. The scale seems quite huge. Plus that room got 2 doors (main door and 2nd door into the 'floating room' and no windows.

bought a full leather leather sofa from them few months back. so far so good. browsed many and it was Species that have something that is within my budget and both my wife and I liked the comfort level. The salesperson told mi that their sofas are custom made ones. Hence I can customise the length (number of seating), got L or without, colour, stitching colour etc. Maybe becos need to customise, I waited for about 2 months to get the sofa.

full leather means every 'leather' part is made from real leather. half leather means certain parts of the sofa is synthetic material. Usual places like behind the sofa where there are minimum human contact. since not every part is real leather, half leather sofas cost less. You can ask the salesperson what type of leather when you talk to them. so far most of what I've seen are cowhide leather.

neighbourhood curtain shops should have. bought one recently from clementi central

Oh Dear. Mine was ok leh. Bought a wardrobe from them. service quite ok. Found the installation a bit problem few days later they r still willing to come down and adjust for me. I recently bought a study table from them. No much complaints.
